The President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated otherwise known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has reacted to the Sunday morning fire incident that engulfed the headquarters of the church at Oregun area of Ikeja, Lagos State.
The senior pastor dismissed the notion that the incident was a misfortune, saying it was only an opportunity for bigger and better things to happen to the church.
Speaking during a live Sunday service at the church’s campground at Asese, the soft-spoken preacher vowed that the “devil will lick his wound,” as the church will build a bigger, better and more glorious edifice.
He said: “Nothing happens in the life of a child of God by accident.
“During the 2001 Ikeja cantonment bombing incident, the building vibrated so much and we thought it was going to collapse.
“I thought to myself that if it collapsed I was going to build a bigger, better one. At the end of the day it didn’t collapse and we called the engineers to see if there was any need to bring it down and rebuild but it was still okay.
“Now that this has happened, we will build a bigger, better, and more glorious one and the devil will lick his wound.”
